Chapter 814: Inside the Marsh
"It seems to look very small..."
In fact, not much time had passed for the two of them to ride the Magic Broom or Flying Carpet to the center of the Meteorite.
The entire Wailing Marsh was very large in area.
Crossing it would take a whole day, about ten hours.
According to Lan Qingyou's estimation of the caravan, this should be at least two to three hundred kilometers.
So even if it smashed into the center of the marshland, flying over was not a difficult thing for the two of them.
A hundred or so kilometers, they arrived at the central area where the Meteorite crashed in less than an hour.
A large crater had already been smashed out here by the Meteorite.
The fresh soil that was originally churned up had already become dry, cracked, and hard in the high temperature.
Along the way, they saw the corpses of quite a few Magic Beasts.
But these Magic Beasts were just ordinary things.
There was no existence worthy of their attention, especially for a 'specialist' like Elisa.
So.
Only upon seeing this Meteorite at the bottom of the large crater did Elisa let out a sigh.
Don't misunderstand, it was mainly because she had nothing to do.
After all, she originally thought they could encounter something on the way, but the result was they encountered nothing.
None of the three situations she guessed happened.
Or rather, there wasn't a single corpse that could corroborate her guesses.
"Being small is very normal, after all it was directly pulled down from outer space. And in order not to affect the power, and not to shatter my protective shield, I specially chose such an appropriately sized one."
"Actually, wanting to find a Meteorite of this suitable size in outer space's near orbit is also not an easy thing."
Lan Qingyou shrugged and then flew down into the deep crater.
Although she said it very casually.
But Elisa fundamentally didn't know that this was the first time Lan Qingyou used the effect of this 'Heaven-descending Meteorite' after obtaining this talent.
So when she used it just now, she was slightly a tiny bit rusty.
But it didn't matter.
As a guy who threw rocks as her opening move in combat for a long time.
This little matter couldn't stump her.
Actually, the Meteorite she chose was slightly bigger than the one they saw now.
It was just that because of the fall, a layer was consumed in the atmosphere filled with mana.
So this Meteorite looked so small now.
But saying it was 'small' was also relative.
After all, when thinking of Meteorites, the first thought is that they are very large, the kind capable of overturning all species on the entire planet.
But actually, under Lan Qingyou's deliberate operation, this kind of thing fundamentally couldn't happen.
No matter what, she also lived in this world.
If she directly died, wouldn't that be disastrous!?
Even if everyone had to die, she at least had to wait until her soul was repaired first.
When Lan Qingyou arrived at the bottom of the deep crater, she swiftly put this Meteorite that still carried residual warmth from the accumulated water into her card.
"What are you collecting this thing for."
Not quite understanding, Elisa shook her head.
"Although it's a rock, it's also a Meteorite. Just now when it penetrated the atmosphere, due to the intense friction and compression of mana, the ordinary Meteorite produced a miraculous reaction."
"Then the question comes, what kind of miraculous reaction would be produced?"
Facing Elisa's question, Lan Qingyou directly asked back in a very mischievous tone.
Regarding this, Elisa not only didn't get angry.
Instead, she started thinking very seriously.
This wasn't some joking remark.
But a solid academic question.
"Hmm... first is the high temperature, then it's mana particles, and then it's compression..."
"Rocks in outer space shouldn't have mana right?"
The thinking Elisa raised her head and looked at Lan Qingyou.
And Lan Qingyou nodded.
And then stated a hypothesis of hers.
"Probably, my hypothesis is that mana is a product exclusive to this planet."
Is that so.
If this hypothesis is established...
"Then if nothing unexpected happens, under the effects of instantaneous heating and mana particles, this kind of thing without mana should have turned into some special material."
"Especially the final step of compression, which is equivalent to further compressing the density, thereby allowing the original rock to possess some kind of mana characteristics."
Looking at the water that had slowly begun to accumulate in the large crater, Elisa slowly said.
After all, in her view, probably only things of this material level could arouse this Tower Witch's interest.
Otherwise it wouldn't possibly be storing it to smash people like stones just like before right?
How much space would that take up.
Is it as convenient as directly summoning a Meteorite?
"It is indeed a special material, but its use might slightly exceed your imagination."
Lan Qingyou smiled so much her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Wow... looking at you like this, could it be it can be used for some weird and strange places?"
Seeing Lan Qingyou's appearance, Elisa felt a chill all over her body.
"Not strange, not strange at all."
Saying so, Lan Qingyou took out her own Crucible from her Herb Pouch.
"What kind of plot is this..."
"A Crucible, this Crucible of mine is made of a Meteorite, it's just that unlike this Meteorite, the Meteorite used to make this Crucible was soaked in the deep sea for a long time. So it carries some water attributes."
"So that's how it is, you plan to use it as material to make Crucibles huh, how truly troublesome..."
She originally thought what Lan Qingyou would use it for.
But she didn't expect it to actually be a Crucible!
Alright, she indeed couldn't understand the thoughts of Alchemists who needed Crucibles either.
Looking at Lan Qingyou's beaming appearance, Elisa didn't know how to follow up either.
In fact, Lan Qingyou was indeed happy.
Whether it was the industrial zone in Eureka City, or the Grand Workshop outside her shelter.
The reason production capacity couldn't continue to expand was exactly because of a lack of Crucibles.
After all, they were things to be sold, so in terms of quality it was impossible to casually find a pot and make them.
So now with equivalent materials.
Lan Qingyou had already begun to delightfully imagine how to expand production on her potion production line.
Such a large Meteorite.
At the very least it could make over a thousand Crucibles right.
When the time comes to find the stonemason Li Huai, maybe she could directly produce premium goods above S-rank.
Guaranteeing quality and quantity still depended on Master Stonemason.
"Then the question comes, what exactly is the thing inside this marshland?"
While Lan Qingyou was secretly pleased... no, openly pleased, Elisa asked a very core question.
After all, didn't Lan Qingyou use a move like a Meteorite exactly to find out the truth?
As a result, the Meteorite was indeed used.
But there was absolutely no sign of the main subject's 'bizarreness'.
It couldn't be that those guys all lived on the edge of the marshland right.
If so, then it indeed couldn't be seen.
But this possibility was very small.
It could even be said to be negligible.
After all, if they were on the edge, then it wouldn't be called going deep, and there would be no need for any investigation at all.
"No, there is something."
Lan Qingyou shook her head, and then looked in a certain direction.
Elisa followed her gaze.
And then she saw a scene that made her scalp tingle.
